[Palms]

Has anyone heard any news on the final squad selected for the Bears Premier League side? I'd be interested to find out..
cheers

At the moment all i know are the ones listed on the Bears website. It is only 14 players and doesn't include any of the triallists so there are probably about 20 others which haven't been named yet.

John Russell
Andrew Moodie
Luke Fatnowna
Ben Ellis
Michael Harper
Richard Retimana

Is Ben Black a halfback???

 

[brook]

Ben Black is a half yes

very talented, if a little on the small side but got a HUGE ego and attitude problem

If he's straightened himself out and got over his high opinion of himself he'll probably be a pretty good signing

 

[girvie]

I think Black will go well next year. He played for the Bears in 2003 and 2004 and was one of our best.

I have heard he has improved himself with his year and a half stint with Halifax in England. Hopefully he will have the right attitude. I heard he had his jaw broken in a punch up in a bar over in England.

He scored 26 tries in 23 games for them this year. It is unbelievable for a Halfback to score that many tries, even if it is a lower standard of competition.

Is that the Ben Black that played for the tigers a few years back??

 

[mightydragon]

Is that the same Andrew Moodie who has been named in the train on squad at the Magpies?

Yes.

He played at the Bears for 2005. I think the Magpies have got it wrong and he will be at the Bears again next year.

Thanks Girvie, much appreciated.

He had 1 or 2 starts from memory for the tigers, once against storm and had a solid debut. Lets hope he can get his commitement back on track

 

[brook]

Black looked very good in his couple of starts for the tigers - especially given he made them from flegg bypassing PL completely.

He really is very talented - I still think he could have made a good first grader if he'd kept his ego in check and he's still more than young enough to make a good contribution to the bears.

 

[girvie]

He may even end up playing for the Storm by the end of the year if they have an injury. I don't think they have much depth in the halves.

I have seen him play a few times and from what I have seen BLACK goes very well. Obviously attempting a game with the storm next season though. He caused the Jets more then a few problems in games in seasons past.....

That wouldn't surprise me one bit either to be honest a good move by him to go to the Bears IMO to try and get back into the NRL

The kid has a heap of talent if he can get his mentality and ego right then he could go very very well for the Bears and also the Storm

On another note Mick Harper is another I expect to see being talked about this year as a possible Storm bench player as the year goes on - front row is a position they don't have a heap of depth in and he really is a promising young prop (another Tigers recruit )
